Power Rails

There are two power rails that must feed into the WiLink system:

  • VBAT - Main power supply source (typically 3.3 V - 3.6 V)
    • VBAT should be connected to pin 46 and 47 of the module
  • VIO - Voltage reference from host (1.8 V)
    • VIO should be connected to pin 38 of the module
    • Can be used for Level shifter supply and slow clock OSC supply
